Our first swimming day

Yea!! Our pool was finally ready to get in today. We couldn't wait even one more day and had to get in as soon as we were given the green light. Zachary is happy just "swimming" around the pool with arm floats on. (With supervision, of course) He will put his face under and jump in from the side. He is fearless. Chris will pull him under with him and he'll open his eyes and kick back up to the surface. He'll be swimming in no time. Alex on the other hand.....he won't even let you put the arm floats on him. I think that he's afraid that means you'll let go of him. He's happier playing in the shallow water or clinging on to your neck. With our tanning ledge, we've got a built in shallow pool just right for him.Zachary was putting his head under the "shower".Alex should be a model with this pose!

We didn't get to stay out terribly long because Zachary was so cold that he was shivering all over. The water has only been in the pool for a week so I think that it's colder than it might normally be. (Totally making that up but it sounded logical.) Plus today was overcast and I'm not sure we reached 90 degrees. Anyway, that happens to Zachary sometimes. I mean, when you have no body fat what do you expect?

Tomorrow we're having our first party and we'll get to try out the pool with a group. I just wish that we had some grass so the yard would be a little nicer looking. Oh well.
